Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life


Audio equipment, cars, cloths, sunglasses, speech and hair are all associated with the word "Cool" sometimes. All these material things have nothing to do with cool. "Cool" is a "state of mind" and some people have it and some will never, no matter how much money, expensive audio system they have or how hard they try. Some nuclear physicists and librarians are cool because its in their "state of mind" and some people will never no matter how hard they try. You know the type... think about it! EVEN AUDIOPHILES CAN BE COOL

The Coolest people on the planet are the Astrophysicists! IQs off the chart and all have a great sense of humor. And quite a few hot babes. I could listen to them talk forever.

Steve McQueen was cool. So was Paul Newman, Grace Kelly, Kim Novak, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and others from that time.

Nowadays it's really hard to put the cool label on people as there is so much hype that surrounds them, and hype doesn't go with cool. Everything is too immediate, negating the distance necessary to be cool. Off the top of my head someone like Jeff Bridges (the dude) qualifies as cool. I think one would have to look back at this time frame to figure out who qualifies as cool unless you personally know someone who is cool, and then you really wouldn't notice it.

All the best,

Really? You think they were never caught in an uncompromising position? We're all cool, sometimes. I was in a casino with my son once. He was at the poker table, I was surfing; being about the second time I ever visited one. I came across a table dedicated to an oriental dice game called Sic Bo. A half hour later I was tapping on his shoulder. I told him 'I just won $1800.00'. He looked up at me over his shoulder and said, 'cool'. He would know, being a very good poker player. I then said 'let's get the hell out of here'.

Zoot, btw, which monikers would you classify as cool here on the Gon?
